Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover
Organized by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, the Day of Silence calls to attention the anti-gay harassment, name-calling and bullying that occurs in schools. Started by Maria Pulzetti in 1996, the Day of Silence organizers have unofficially dedicated the 2009 observance to Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover.
